A photograph through young beech leaves, just beginning to darken from their first bright green flush, towards a dry valley full of hawthorn trees in full blossom. The blossom is white, and so are the clouds above, with a bright turquoise sky at the top

A long day, enjoyed by all.

The family minus Isambard—Spouse to my right is tall and black and is dressed all in black with huge black feather wings and a ribcage design T-shirt, dark glasses and white stripes makeup, then centre Rosewind with golden antlers and sickle yellow sunglasses and a general Demeter theme and then child dressed as Persephone in her spring goddess personification with a purple gold and blue silk dress, matching hair and fairy wings and a crown—despite her heels RW is notably shorter than the other two

Beltane: The Fire Festival of Renewal and Abundance As the wheel of the year turns, Beltane marks the height of spring and the approach of summer—a time of passion, fertility, and fire. Celebrated on May 1st, Beltane is deeply rooted in Celtic traditions, honoring the life force, growth, and the thinning of the veil between our realm and the realm of the fey. It’s also intertwined with May Day festivities, reflecting themes of joyous renewal.

Beltane's Blessings to you! May the fey be friendly and the joys of life be in full bloom.

Adding Music to Beltane Beltane is celebrated in the Nothern Hemisphere on May 1, where it marks the beginning of summer. It was once an ancient Celtic fire festival and is now a modern pagan holiday.

This post kicked off my entire sabbat series two years ago. Happy Beltane everyone!
